April 2, 2013

The Pony Express Riders of Palo Alto County had to zip their jackets a little higher on Good Friday, but at the end of their yearly ride, they had a warm feeling inside.

Through the efforts of 34 riders who canvassed nine communities, along with other fundraising activities during the year, the Pony Express Riders were able to bring $14,347.22 to the Camp Sunnyside near Des Moines for the annual Easter Seals fundraiser.

At the conclusion of the Good Friday ride, organizers reported that a total of $3,697.56 on the ride. An additional $10,649.66 was raised through various dances, auctions and other fundraisers during the year.
